Machine Learning Engineer (Roofing Technology sphere)

Company Background

The customer is a forward-thinking startup in the roofing industry, dedicated to transforming traditional practices through innovative technology. They aim to revolutionize how roofing companies handle roof inspections, particularly focusing on automating the process of identifying roof brands and models, especially in cases of damage. Their mission is to simplify and expedite the assessment of roof damage by integrating advanced AI technology, ultimately streamlining operations for roofing professionals and improving accuracy in roof evaluations.

Project Description

The project aims to develop an MVP that enhances roofing companies' efficiency in assessing roof damage and identifying shingle types. It includes:
1. Mobile Application: A cross-platform app for field use, allowing users to capture and analyze photos of roof shingles to quickly identify the roof's brand and model.
2. Web Application: A platform with various user roles for managing accounts, subscriptions, and company settings, serving as the backend for the detection process.
3. Machine Learning Engine: A core component trained on client-provided data to detect and classify shingles, integrated into both the mobile and web applications for accurate identification.
